The expression of genes within the myostatin pathway was determined in TA muscle at the end of a 20 min bout of high force lengthening contractions and then 0.5, 3, 6, 18, and 48 hours later. Myostatin and follistatin mRNA increased following resistance exercise starting at 3 h. The expression of the myostatin receptor (ActRIIB) was unchanged at any time point. *indicates significantly greater than the contralateral control leg for follistatin and † indicates significantly greater than the contralateral control leg for myostatin (n = 4, p<0.05).
